Cork Race 2 - UNQUESTIONABLE Standing At Rathbarry Stud Maiden
COOL AZUL (4) looks the standout after finishing 2nd of 24 at Curragh over 1207m on soft ground last start, beaten 2.75L. SPARKY SPARKY (10) brings solid local form, having run 3rd at Cork over 1005m, just 1.5L from the winner. DREAMINTHEJUNGLE (1) was 5th in the same Curragh race as Cool Azul, beaten 4.1L, and can be considered for minor placings. CASHEL BLUE (13) and CASLA'S EAGLE (14) both finished midfield on debut and may improve with race experience. Something for the Multiples: SPARKY SPARKY (10) COOL AZUL (4)
